Limit editing to technical corrections

You can moderately correct:

  • exposure;
  • white balance;
  • rotation;
  • cropping;
  • light contrast adjustments;
  • sharpening within natural limits.

Avoid edits that remove:

  • scratches;
  • selective dirt where removal would hide marks;
  • dents;
  • corrosion;
  • discolouration;
  • parts present in the original image.

Editing should make the photograph easier to read, not change what the buyer will receive.
